An ideal gas has a specific heat given by Cv = A+BT, where A and b are constants.
Show that the entropy per kilo-mole in going from state (v1,T1) to state (v2,T2) is:
delta(s) = A ln (T2/T1)+ B(T2-T1)+ R ln (v2/v1).

Solution Summary
This solution is comprised of detailed explanation and step-by-step calculation of the given problem and provides students with a clear perspective of the underlying concepts.
Solution Preview
The entropy change for an ideal gas, while going from state (T1, V1) to (T2, V2) is given as:
∆S= ∫_(T_1)^(T_2)▒dQ/T
From the First Law of Thermodynamics,
dQ=dU+dW
If c_v be the molar specific heat at constant volume, then the increase in ...
